Hi Mason,

Please always Cc: Rob (robh+dt@xxxxxxxxxx) when you send bindings

Yes I know, I mean: you don't necessarily need the 'reg-names' property
as it is supposed that the only entry will be the IP registers (unless
there are more). I don't know what's Rob preference here but I would
either drop the reg-names property or enhance the name, "regs" is
terribly not descriptive.

The bindings have nothing to do with the kernel views. They might
actually be merged in a different project, out of the kernel.
